Roma midfielder Alessandro Florenzi insists Francesco Totti can still be a big influence.

Roma have played two games this season, but Totti remained on the bench throughout.

“Totti is a symbol of this team and the city. He's very relaxed about it all and will help us during the campaign," said Florenzi.

“I am very happy, because being a Roman and a Romanista, I have made a childhood dream come true. I used to watch symbols like Totti and Daniele De Rossi, believing them to be out of reach. Now they are my teammates."
